1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites. Similar tech includes local storage, pixels, and tags. They help sites function, remember preferences, and understand usage trends.

2) How this Site uses cookies

• Strictly necessary cookies: Required for basic functionality, security, and performance (may be set by hosting/CDN or embeds).

• Analytics cookies (if enabled): Measure visits, pages viewed, and general usage so I can improve the Site. Data is typically aggregated/pseudonymous (e.g., truncated IP, device type, referring URL, timestamps).

• Third-party cookies from embeds/links: If content is embedded or you follow links to LinkedIn, Behance, Instagram, GitHub, or the WordPress.com blog, those services may set their own cookies per their policies.

3) Managing cookies

Most browsers let you block, delete, or limit cookies. If I add an on-site banner, you can set or withdraw consent for optional cookies there. Blocking some cookies may affect functionality.

4) What may be collected via cookies/analytics

Subject to your settings/consent (where offered): device/browser type, approximate location (city/country), pages viewed, time on page, and interactions. This helps operate, protect, and improve the Site.

5) Data retention

Cookie lifetimes vary by type/provider. I aim to keep analytics data only as long as needed for the purposes above and then delete or aggregate it.

6) Changes

I may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date shows the latest version.
